Learning Management System (UAF Blackboard)

Category: Academic Support & Computer Labs

Overview

Blackboard is UAF's web based learning management system that allows instructors to develop and deliver course materials online.

Instructors use Blackboard to post documents, assignments, quizzes and exams and to moderate forums, provide virtual office hours, and more. Students are able to check their grades, submit assignments, and interact with each other and the instructor.

Blackboard is used for distance education classes that are taught entirely online as well as to complement traditional face-to-face classes.
